6.5 Grendel PSA Sabre Blade Gel Test

[@cancermonkey7334]

Seems like it’d be very close ballistically to a 300 blackout at those ranges and similar length barrel. Nice job on the video. Keep up the quality content.

@@cancermonkey7334 thank you. You’d probably be surprised, but it’s carrying similar energy to a 30-30 from that 12.5” barrel.

@@cherrycitygunsandammo1011 I did some research between 30.30, 300BLK and 7.62x39 before I bought my last AR. All 3 were very close from what I researched. I went with the X39 option due to SHTF, normal availability, price and ballistics. Lots of people in Texas use them on hogs. And I have found several decent ammo choices at decent prices, including the Sabre Black tip with steel case. So far I’ve been very happy with my decision. I Figure I can get a deer or hog under 200 yards pretty reliably with this option. 6.5 Grendel is the next upper I wanna get. Looking at a BCA side charger with a 20” barrel or possibly a bit longer. Ballistically, it’s supposed to be fairly similar to .243 Win. Heavier, but slower; and penetration seems to be almost the same.

I just built a 7.62x39 and I have the Sabre blade steel case that I will be doing a test video on just like this one.
